[00:00.00]Only Lonely - The Ballroom Thieves
[00:15.65]Composer:Martin Earley/Calin Peters
[00:31.31]My fingers are the only bones I want here
[00:35.67]She takes me when I share my den and turn my tide
[00:41.12]She knows I have a tendency
[00:43.83]I make mountains out of stones
[00:46.31]And with that timber burn a hundred fires
[00:51.34]I've been around and up and down this road before
[00:56.38]I've eaten all the seeds you yearn to give
[01:01.30]When I was born she made a garland of the broken weeds
[01:05.94]I've always worn it and forever she has lived
[01:11.57]How did you know
[01:14.15]When I would go
[01:16.54]When I swim back to you
[01:22.20]I can only tread water while you tend to my other
[01:27.46]She is only lonely for you
[01:48.88]Back when all her quiet words were thunder
[01:53.44]And her answers were all crooked little truths
[01:58.86]I was heavy as a hazard
[02:01.39]In an unmade bed
[02:03.57]A spinning lies
[02:05.22]With empires for my youth
[02:09.25]How did you know
[02:11.77]When I would go
[02:14.17]When I swim back to you
[02:19.89]I can only tread water while you tend to my other
[02:25.16]She is only lonely for you
[02:30.92]I can build a nest in any scaffold
[02:36.36]Dwelling in the revelry I keep
[02:43.63]I'm traveling in a nightmare on a map back to the greenhouse
[02:48.83]Take me to the garden where daydreams sleep
[02:54.18]How did you know
[02:56.85]When I would go
[02:59.22]When I swim back to you
[03:05.11]I can only tread water while you tend to my other
[03:10.36]She is only lonely for you
[03:15.85]I would I would I would I would I would I
